• Drive adoption of AI technologies, including LLMs, agentic workflows, and automation platforms.
• Translate complex business requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Act as the bridge between technical teams and business users.
• Help shape the organisation's AI and technology strategy through hands-on delivery and experimentation.

What We're Looking ForEssential

• Strong software engineering experience with languages such as Python, TypeScript, Java, or C#.
• Experience building production-grade applications and APIs.

• Experience working directly with stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver solutions.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach to delivery.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

• Exposure to data engineering, analytics, or machine learning.
• Experience developing workflow automation solutions.
• Consulting, solutions engineering, or customer-facing engineering experience.
• Knowledge of modern DevOps and CI/CD practices.

What's In It For You?

• Salary of up to £100,000
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI and automation initiatives
• High levels of ownership and autonomy
• Exposure to senior stakeholders and strategic projects
• Collaborative and innovative engineering culture
• Clear progression opportunities as the organisation scales its AI capabilities
